Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

Laya said, "Okay, take me to see Madam."

Mrs. Montalia's name is Alian Miao, the younger sister of the Marquis of the Middle Valley, Jiuguang Flowers, who was also known as the flower of the wine city back then.She is 28 years younger than Eston, so although Eston is old, she is still young and beautiful.

Led by the butler, Laya and her party came to the reception room in the inner castle.

Raya came in and saluted, and then the Marquise returned the salute.Alianmiao Mondalia is a 30-year-old young woman. She has inherited the pale skin and dignified manners of the Flowers family, and she has a pair of eyes that are sharper than men, and she can scare you with her eyes.She was wearing a white robe at the moment and looked like a nun too.

Laya sat down, and the orcs and veterans went to guard the door, and Eros sat next to Laya, recording the conversation with the pen and paper she carried with her.

Needless to say the pleasantries at the beginning, Eros will not waste ink to record these nonsense.After that, Laya asked about the current situation of Fengleibao, and some things about the North-South trade route.Alianmiao answered one by one, and Eros took notes one by one.However, she is absent-minded at the moment, and what she thinks in her mind is: When will the meeting end?I want to go to see the snow scene with Laya-sama.I also want to visit the orphanage with her and give food to the children...

At this time, a question from Laya brought Eros back to reality: "What do you think of the little trident's victory?" she asked the Marquis.

Alian Miao said to her: "This is a wonderful victory. Everyone thinks so. I admit that he has some talents in war. However, Bugu Kahn was born unrighteously and must die in disgrace. Violence cannot Rule an empire. I can tell you that my husband will never bow to Jinshabao. Little Trident thinks that he can scare Fengleibao with just one victory? That's impossible."

Eros carefully recorded the marquis's bold speech, Laya gave her a little time to write, and then continued to say to the marquis: "I agree with you and the Marquis, the little trident cannot win this Even if he wins this war, the people and nobles will not be willing to be ruled by such a tyrant. Therefore..." Laya pondered for a while, "We are on the same front, Madam Alianmou."

Madam smiled and said, "We have always been on the same front, Laya." After saying this, her face suddenly darkened, and she said, "But you abandoned us, Laya."

Hearing this, Eros's pen stopped suddenly; but Laya said calmly: "I never thought of abandoning you and the Marquis, I just can't continue to work with Putin. You have also seen now Well, the demon monk Putin has always harbored evil intentions, he is a nail inserted into Fenglei Castle by the little trident, and the land he has been in is bleeding."

"It's not the same thing, Raya."

Laya didn't answer, just nodded, and then asked: "Who is the new bishop of Fenglei Castle?"

The Marquis said: "There are still no de jure priests in Fengleibao, but we allow Gilda to preach legally."

Raya asked, "Gilda?"

"Yes, it is him."

Eros has heard of this name before. He is one of the three chairmen of the White Clothes Society and the leader of the Eternal Life Sect.He advocated "suffer in this life and enjoy happiness in the next life".In his teachings, if you can be a poor person who works hard in this life, then you can transfer to a rich family in the next life.He encourages his disciples to suffer in this life and sacrifice themselves in exchange for rewards in the next life.

But Eros thinks this is nonsense, first of all, you can't prove this kind of thing.According to your teachings, all reincarnated people will have their memories erased, so no one can say that this is true; secondly, there are tens of millions of poor people who suffer, while there are only so many rich and noble families. Then this number is not right!

But the rulers like this, and some nobles even gave public speeches, saying that they dreamed about how they suffered in their previous lives, and they said it vividly.After all, such rules can make the people willing to endure exploitation, and the nobles can justifiably enjoy it all.

Compared with the simple "humanism" like Laya, the eternal life faction is obviously more in line with the interests of the nobles.

Eros knew that Laya had been worrying about this matter.Once the other two chairmen grow bigger, Raya's desire to unify the White Council will be shattered.

"You know, Gilda is a liar, and has always been." Laya said to the Marquis, "At first he believed in the White Shirt Society of the fundamentalist religion, then he followed me to promote the theory of humanism, and then he set up his own family, back and forth. Three kinds of teachings... Madame, what kind of god would be so frivolous and change the order from day to day?"

Alianmyu said: "Of course I know he is a liar, Laya. But liars are also worth liars. Compared with you, I need a religion that can make the people docile, so Gilda is more suitable."

"He will only deceive your people," Raya told her.

The Marquise said: "How do you know that what he said is all lies? Isn't it good to suffer in this life and enjoy happiness in reincarnation? You see, I may have suffered a lot in my previous life."

"How do you prove all this?"

"The best proof is not to prove it," said the Marchioness.

Eros doesn't understand politics, but she can also see that Laya wants Fengleibao's support and wants to use Fengleibao's power to integrate the White Clothes Society.Laya once said that three things are needed to integrate the church. The first is righteousness that complies with legal principles, the second is soldiers, and the third is to uproot the roots of the other two chairmen.

She has already done the first two, the Earl of Xiongshan gave her righteousness, and Jinsha Castle lent her soldiers.So now, she is going to uproot the other two chairmen.

She had to convince the Marquis or Marquis that Fengleibao would no longer support Gilda.

It's not an easy task, but Eros believes Laya can do it.Just like in previous negotiations, she sat quietly next to Laya to record all this.This time Raya talked to the Marchioness for an hour, and she made a lot of promises...and a lot of lies.

Eros rarely sees Raya telling outright lies in negotiations.The Saintess of the White Clothes Club attaches great importance to her reputation, and she will only use deception when she is desperate—to deceive her enemies.

So this time we also reached a desperate situation?Thinking of it this way, Elosie, Lord Laya has been in a state of tension these days, as if a catastrophe is imminent.She was panicked, anxious, and afraid, and her actions became increasingly unprincipled.It seems that she is no longer the calm saint in white, but has become a cunning politician.

The result of the negotiation was unsatisfactory. Eros didn't know what Laya had paid in secret. She only knew that Fengleibao promised to let her return to her original position and invited her to the dinner party next week.

After the meeting that night, Harrison and Raya got into an argument.

Although Harrison has a grumpy temper, he has always been hardworking about Laia's affairs.According to the orcs, it is: I often can't understand what Lord Laya does, it's because of my stupidity; I believe she must have a reason for doing so.

But this time was different. He asked Laya very angrily, "My lord! What are you trying to do? You sold everything that can be sold in the White Clothes Society, and you are in collusion with those despicable people. This is not what we should do." ! When we go back, how are we going to explain to the people below?"

And Laya's answer was still indifferent, she said: "All of this must be done. Harrison, listen to me. I may do some things that seem strange, but I will never deviate from the teaching. What you What you see is appearance, not reality.”

"So when will we see the truth?" Aaron asked her.

"It won't be long," she said. "Red stars are shining, witches are walking on the ground, and the son of the Witch King will come in more than two months... All the signs point to the spring in March. At that time, what we do will also be We'll see. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you everything right now."

Eventually, the matter did not stop.

Afterwards, they lived in Wind and Thunder Castle. Laya often lived in the castle before, so there were still vacant rooms in the castle for them.Eros has been depressed for the past few days, so she has insomnia at night.When she has insomnia, she likes to take a walk outside. Fengleibao overlooks the sea corridor, the moonlight is bright tonight, and the scenery at night should be beautiful.So she slipped quietly outside.

There are patrol soldiers in Fengleibao at night, but Eros is confident to bypass the guards.She was doing intelligence, and she did it a lot.

She took off her old high-heeled shoes and put on silent soft-soled shoes, then combed her hair neatly, and was holding a wooden bucket in her hand-if anyone saw her, she would say that she was going to fetch water.

The castle at night is a bit weird, the torch is shaking, half-lighting the gargoyle statues and knight armor.Eros could not help quickening her pace.She is still a while away from the sea-watching corridor, and at this time she has to pass the logistics warehouse and the kitchen.There was still light there, probably the servants were preparing for the banquet the day after tomorrow.Eros tiptoed past there, and at this moment she heard whispers from inside.

This made her alert.

There are cooks and laborers in the warehouse, and these people don't deliberately lower their voices when they are ready to work.The reason why she lowered her voice was because what she said was ulterior motives, and Eros wanted to know about ulterior things—this was her intelligence intuition.

So she tiptoed to the wall, she held her breath, and heard two men whispering inside: "Is there enough sugar?"

"Enough is enough."

"What color did you put?"

"Yellow and red."

Eros was stunned for a moment, and then thought: What they are talking about is definitely not ordinary candy.

"Just put enough, remember, don't take the wrong wine tomorrow. Otherwise, we will all have to separate our heads!"

"Yes, my lord."

Then the two men talked about the seating arrangement at the banquet, and then the order of serving the dishes.They spoke in a very low voice, but Eros' ears were much more sensitive than the average person's, and she could hear everything clearly.At this point she could already confirm that these people were plotting something terrible.

At this moment, the sound of unlocking and footsteps came from the door, and Eros quickly hid behind the wooden box next to her.Then two men came out.It was two people dressed as servants, tiptoeing, one looked around, and the other carefully locked the door.After the door was locked, the two walked around again before leaving.Eros didn't dare to catch her breath during the whole process, for fear of being discovered by these two people.

After those people left, Eros immediately went to pick the lock.She can easily pick the lock with a hairpin, but the lock on the warehouse is an old one, so it's not difficult.Soon there was a clear sound from the lock, she unlocked it, and then gently pushed the door open.There were many wine barrels in the room, cured meat hung on the wall, and the air smelled of wine lees.She walked around the huge piece of meat hanging in the air and came to the place where the two had talked before.

There was a pair of silver wine jugs, which seemed to be used by nobles.There were some dark red powder scattered on that table.Eros dabbed a little on the small paper bag she carried with her, and wrapped it up.

I have to show this to Mistress Raya, she thought, enough to start a storm.

Eros in Stormwind Castle, [-]

Eros in Stormwind Castle, [-]

The powder was probably poison, but Eros didn't know what poison it was.So she dared not smell it or touch it with her hands. After all, there are many potent poisons that can kill if inhaled.

She made sure everything in the warehouse remained in place, then broomed away footprints and locked the doors.After everything was arranged, she returned to the bedroom with the small packet of powder.As soon as she entered, she saw a dimly lit oil lamp in the room, and Laya was sitting on the edge of the bed in her pajamas.

"Where have you been?" Raya asked her.

"I was going to see the sea view," Eros sat down beside her, "but I found something unexpected."

"what?"

"This." Eros took out the powder, "I found two sneaky people in the warehouse, and they seemed to have tampered with the Marquis' flagon. Can you identify this powder? I suspect it is poison."

Laya glanced at it, her complexion became serious immediately, and she said, "Bring a small glass of water."

"Yes, my lord."

When Eros fetched water, Laya scooped up a handful of red powder particles with tweezers and put them in the water, then shook the cup to mix the powder evenly.Powder into water, colorless and odorless, no movement can be seen.However, Laya's expression became more solemn, and she said, "It doesn't settle or float up, and the small particles in it have completely melted into the water." She put the water on the bedside, and then took out several kinds of potion powder and powder from the package. holy oil.She took a small amount of each of these things and put them into the cup with the alchemist's dropper.When I was experimenting with the seventh potion, the liquid in the cup suddenly burst into black foam, and at the same time it had a very pungent smell.Laya quickly poured a whole cup of water on the ground, and then poured holy oil on it.The oil sizzles and white vapors come into contact with the black liquid.

Eros was too frightened to make a sound. She stared at the boiling liquid and thought to herself: Will the Marquis survive after drinking this kind of thing?

The violent reaction of the liquid gradually subsided, and Laya said at this time: "Eros, wipe the floor, and then burn the rag. I know what it is."

Eros complied, and the two tidied up the house, making sure that no trace was left.Then Raya opened the window, letting the icy air rise.Eros took a deep breath, the cold made her chest hurt.

Laya stood by the window and said, "This should be blood poison from Hesse. It is said that this substance is refined from the blood of ancient fierce demons. It is colorless and odorless, but just a little bit of it can be fatal." .Blood poison cannot be detected by anything, except that it reacts with white holy oil."

The nun's long hair was trembling in the cold wind. Afraid that she would freeze, Eros came up behind her and hugged her.Raya glanced back at her.Eros felt that her eyes were full of doting, but she was not sure.

"This kind of poisonous powder will be dropped in wine, and the most terrifying thing is that it can be smeared in a cup, but no matter how it is done, it is enough to kill people."

Eros got goosebumps all over her body when she heard this, she hugged Laya's body tightly, and said in Laya's ear: "I found this next to the Marquis' wine jug! What do you mean, someone is going to murder the day after tomorrow? Lord Marquis?"

Raya put a hand on the back of hers.Eros felt the calluses on Laya's palm, and couldn't help feeling distressed.She took Laya's hand in turn, stroking her palm lightly.She rested her chin lightly on Raya's shoulder, and their temple hair touched together.

"Let's go?" She whispered in Laya's ear, "My lord, let's not stay in the wrong place, murdering the Marquis, as long as this kind of thing sticks together, it will be troublesome."

At this moment, Raya pulled her hand out of her hand, and this small movement made Eros feel a pain in her heart.She took a half step back.

Laya turned around and said to Eros: "We can't go if we encounter this kind of thing."

Ah, yes, my lord will not watch the Marquis being killed, Eros thought to herself.However, just when she was thinking this way, Laya suddenly said a word that could destroy Eros' belief.

"We can take advantage of this murder." Said the saint of the White Clothes Society.

"what?"

Eros thought she had heard it wrong - did I suffer from insomnia, so something went wrong with my brain?How can adults say such things?

Is murder also exploitable?Shouldn't murder be prevented?

Eros covered her heart with one hand, and asked, "Are you sure you want...to take advantage of this murder?"

"Yes." Laya's expression didn't change, "but I haven't decided how to use this opportunity. I'm going to find Alian Miao tomorrow, and then make a decision."

That's not what Eros wanted to ask. "I mean, the Marquis, he...he might..."

Laya was stunned for a moment, as if she realized that her previous words and deeds were inappropriate, so she explained: "The Marquis may not necessarily die, but if he can't escape this disaster, it can only be said that he is unlucky."

Are you not going to save him?Eros couldn't get the words out of her mouth.

Eros understands the darkness of political struggle, and she doesn't expect to rescue the Marquis and bring justice to justice.What shocked her was Laya's attitude towards this matter.In the past, no matter how much risk the saintess of the White Clothes Club took, she would definitely save the Marquis and arrest the murderer.But now she said "use this murder" without changing her face... This made Eros feel at a loss.She felt that Laya was changing little by little, becoming more and more strange.

She has changed since attending the funeral of Grand Duke Trident. Did something happen then?Eros looked at the person she loved in front of her. I know everything about Lord Laya. We live and sleep together, so how can we hide anything from me?

What Eloise likes is the saint of the White Clothes Society, the upright, brave and strong iron lady, not the hypocritical politician who is ungrateful for profit.

"Are we really going to do this?" she asked Raya. "My lord, what is the teaching of the White Council?"

"Eliminate the world's suffering." Laya replied.

Eros nodded and said, "Isn't the suffering in Fenglei Castle suffering?"

"of course."

"Then we still want to take advantage of their suffering?" Eros's expression was very sad, "Why are you doing this, my lord?"

Laya pondered for a moment, then said solemnly: "This is an indispensable sacrifice, Eros."

"A necessary sacrifice?"

"Yes." She nodded, "Our goal is to eliminate the suffering in this world—then, Eros, let me ask you, what is the greatest suffering in this land today?"

"It's war." Eros replied without thinking.

"Then our goal is to eliminate war." There seemed to be fire in the eyes of the saint, and her eyes were shining brightly in this dark night, "It is worth sacrificing one or two people for this. In my eyes, no matter whether the Marquis , or myself, can sacrifice for it.”

Eros was so distressed that it was hard to breathe, she suddenly asked: "Am I worth the sacrifice too?" After saying this, she choked up.

"You're worth the sacrifice, too," Raya said.Then at the moment when Eros' heart was broken, Laya hugged her and said, "But it must be after I die-for me, faith is the most important, followed by you, and finally my life .”

Eros didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

In a flash, she kissed Raya.

Eros was taller and stronger than Raya.She grabbed Laya's wrist, and then used her lips and tongue to disarm the saint.She is better at kissing than anyone else, and she knows how to confess to girls with her lips and tongue.

So moist, so soft, so sweet.She had thought about this moment for a long time.Eros has kissed men whose tongues are as disgusting as rough worms, so she likes to kiss girls.She had kissed many, many girls, from teenage girls to young wives, but none had touched her heart quite like Raya.Laya's tongue was small, and her lips were soft and thin. Eros wanted to kiss gently at first, but when she touched Laya's wet tongue, she lost control.She kissed the longing lips hard, trying to melt with her.

"No..." Laya made a vague sound in her throat.Eros took a breath and said, "I love you, my lord." Then she kissed you again.This time Eros squeezed Laya's wrist tightly and pulled her arm behind her back so she could press herself against it.As the distance got closer, she immediately smelled the sweet scent of Laya's body.She had smelled it on Laya's pillows, bedding, and underwear before, but it was the first time she had smelled it directly.

Laya's hands were trembling, she tried to break free from the shackles of Elros, but she didn't seem to have much strength.

Eros thought to herself: Lord Laya is just a little scared, she doesn't hate me, if she really hates me, she will bite me.

The tip of Eros' tongue stopped between Laya's teeth, if Laya wanted to do that, she could immediately bite Eros's mouth full of blood.Eros was also prepared for this, but she didn't mind Laya biting her.She even wanted Laya to hurt her, the more she hurt, the better.

Eros's body also tensed up, she was waiting for the blood that was about to appear, but Laya's teeth just pinched Eros's tongue lightly.More like caress than threat.

She didn't bite me, thought Elrose, she was even afraid of hurting me.

This made Eros even more unscrupulous, she pushed Raya to the bed, pressed her on the bed and continued to kiss her.Laya didn't seem to be resisting anymore. At this moment, Eros thought: Will I hurt her by scratching her?So Eros relaxed a little bit, Laya didn't resist, she held her hands on the bed, her fingers moved around unnaturally, as if she wanted to grab something.

So Eros interlocked her fingers.When their hands were held together, Laya fell completely silent.She felt Raya's body relax, and then she pressed lightly on Raya's body and began to stroke Raya's arm.She went in a little bit, first the arms and then the neck, and then she started to untie Raya's top with her fingers...
